Sydney Zoo and Harbor Cruise

Yesterday, I woke up and four thirty am haha. I am still not adjusted to the huge time difference here in Australia!! I talked to my dad on the phone for a while and went for a long run until kayla woke up. Then we showered and ate breakfast and we went to the Sydney Zoo. We saw tons of native Australian animals as well as giraffes, elephants, zebras, bears, and hippos! It was a huge outdoor Zoo with a beautiful view of the Sydney Harbor. Then, we boarded a boat and took a three hour cruise of the Sydney Harbor. We got a guided tour of the Sydney Opera House, beautiful waterfront houses, beaches, bridges, and more! We got to see sailboats and speedboats and other tours. It was a beautiful day outside and kayla and I got tons of sun!! I am already really tan!! When we got back, I crashed and took a two hour nap until dinner...I was so drained from the sun!! After dinner we listened to a native Australian band and mingled and danced. It was a beautiful night! Although I love the weather and culture here, the food is very different! They have been very accommodating and provided me with all gluten free meals, but often times things taste much different than we are used to. Everything is very light and VERY bland. They put butter on sandwiches, the ketchup is tomato sauce, and the coffee is no green mountain coffee haha but I'm sure I will get used to the differences! We are being bussed right now to take surfing lessons today! Should be a great time!! Missin everyone at home!
